2009 Gold Star Club!

2009 Gold Star

Three members of your Alumni Club of Detroit Board attended the annual Alumni Leadership Conference sponsored by the Ohio State University Alumni Assoc. The theme of this year’s conference was BUCKEYES WITHOUT BOUNDARIES.

Among the highlights of the conference was the award of a Gold Star for the club. Only the top 10% of clubs receive the Gold Star. It was the 9th Gold Star for the club and the 7th in the past 9 years.

Other Gold Star winners were Austin Tex, Erie County, Franklin County, Richland County, San Diego, CA, Sandhills, NC, Sarasota/Manatee FL and our sister club, Western MI. Over 200 alumni attended the conference from as far away as Hawaii.

Yvette McGee Brown, President – Center for Child and Family Advocacy, and outgoing chair of OSUAA, delivered a great keynote speech, emphasizing the role of the Alumni Assoc. in making The Ohio State University great.

Breakout sessions included, Beyond the Mainstream: Thriving in a digital Media World, OSUAA web preview, and best practices, clubs, societies and diversity.

Pictured above are Csaba Szabo, Paul Shapiro, Archie Griffin, David Emerling and Larry Lokai all from your Motor City Buckeyes! Congrats!

THAW - The Heat And Warmth Fund
Saturday, February 7, 2009

The OSU Alumni Club of Detroit supported the THAW campaign by manning the phones during the Winter Survival Radiothon. We met our goal by raising more than $5000 for the cause. As a result, radio celebrity Joe Donovan sang the OSU fight song on WWJ-950 at noon.

Ticket Exchange

If you have football tickets you won't be able to use, or if you are looking for home game tickets, you're in luck! Every football season the OSU Alumni Club of Detroit provides a ticket exchange service to our members. For assistance please e-mail Steve Klepchak at bux72@yahoo.com. You can reach Steve by phone at (248) 628-4656, but please leave your email address for him to contact you.

Also, if you are interested in donating a pair of tickets for a significant game (for example, against Michigan or Penn State) the club can use in conjunction with an auction package or raffle for the scolarship program, the club will gladly accept and recognize your donation. Ideally, the ticket donation should occur early enough in the season to allow ample time to put the auction package into a newsletter and post it to our web site.
